Which wireless router?


Can anyone suggest a wireless router available.. Assuming (again) i have money is Linksys WRT54G good enough? Can it be used with RHEL WS4?

Another question? Why does the "Click Here to Find Similar Threads" do not work well???

My Linksys WRT54G does the job quite nicely. My wife's xp connects just fine and my two laps from work RH8 and Slack10.2 communicate with it without problem.

I really like my WRT54G and have had no problem with it. In fact, if you get brave, you can install a third party firmware (such as Sveasoft Alchemy) that will give you features only available on expensive wireless routers. Check out http://wrt54g.net/ for more information. Also, you can use Firewall Builder to make a custom firewall if you've install Alchemy.

One important thing to note is that there are different versions of the WRT54G and not all 3rd party firmware works on all versions.
